This works surprisingly well! It even made my crappy writing into the correct markup. Great for when you have a big equation to "translate" to LaTeX quickly or to just look up a character you don't know the name of.
I wish there was a function to upload an image or to capture an image via webcam or something like that. Then I could write it on paper and show it to the webcam and get the markup, or upload scans of notes to have them translated.
Yeah, they could easily create a separate pastebin-like business for equations. It would do miracles for homework assistance and teletutoring. Especially if they let people embed the code.
EDIT: You could even add a business model that made the posts auto-delete after a month where premium users could keep their pastes up forever and embed them. Infinite possibilities.
